"You will never see me coming."
―(Iron Man 3) The Mandarin to Tony Stark.

The Mandarin, also known by his real name as Trevor Slattery, is the tertiary antagonist in the movie. He is a character to hide the true main antagonist, Aldrich Killian. The Mandarin / Trevor Slattery is portrayed by actor Ben Kingsley.

His identity as the Mandarin was created by Killian and was used as a puppet to hide Killian from being suspected by the US Government

The real mystery behind this, is that The Mandarin is not an actual villain in the movie, but instead is a masked identity to hide Aldrich's true intention. When Tony Stark and James Rhodes find the so-called "Mandarin",it is actually a drunk state of the art actor named Trevor Slattery, who portrayed The Mandarin character in the movie.

He was only acting for Aldrich on television and doing terrorist acts plus  threats. The reason is to show as if he was a real villain and threat. Though, all the things he did on television were never true with all the other events that happened were planned by Aldrich and tasked by Extremis Soldiers.

Tony Stark eventually tracks him down in Miami, Florida with help from J.A.R.V.I.S. and Harley Keener and discovers the truth about Slattery who reveals he is doing this for many nice amenities including drugs, women and a speedboat. Slattery tells Tony the truth, but activates a silent alarm that leads to his capture. Afraid for his life, Slattery claims he told Tony nothing. After escaping, Tony and James Rhodes force Slattery to tell them where to find Killian and lacking a method of transportation, take his speedboat. After everything is over, Slattery is arrested for his role in the threat.
